Discussion
I've just got back from Butlins, which is as council as you can get (but the kids loved it) I was most proud of my lad and his mate discussing the correct way to pronounce croissant.
However -
Dumping your kids in soft play and going drinking
Having double barreled first names and/or surnames
And the names oh god the names.
Swearing at your kids
Bad tattoos
Massive women with skinny blokes
Lots of mums on holiday with granny (under 50) and with two or more children of various hues.
dressing your kids in football kits
massive plates of food (it's an all you can eat buffet, you can go back for more)

One spotted today - a tumble dryer exhaust hose coming out of the window.
Not just any window.
The upstairs rear bedroom window of a 2-bed house with single mum (natch) and 2 kids living there.
Strangely enough it used to come out of the kitchen window - they maybe thought that was too council
Likely for the "growing" tent in the spare room I'd suggest.Not just any window.

Any urban Scot who is not middle class.
I say urban, becasuse there are plenty of decent non Middle class Scots in rural areas.
Get yourself amingst the lower orders from Glasgow and the surrounding council areas and the noise, swearing and general counciality it unbelievable.
Most are actually nice folks. Kind and very often polite. Not horrible like English Chavs, but they take being rough to new levels.
I talk from experience. My folks had a static caravan (Possibly council to some) at a place in SW Scotland. . Beautiful place, nice locals and some very nice respectable owners. When the folks from Glasgow and surrounding areas rocked up, the noise levels trebled, Scottish flags were unfurled, loud music, , shouting. The first time I heard the C word was from a Scot. He was chastising his little boy.
As I say, not all working class Scots.

It does my head in. I go to jobs on some really nice new build estates and think it must be a nice place to live, but you can always spot the social. Wild lawn and dirty windows with either a tatty old car or a tatty new car on tick.Lots of new cars on motability, usually driven by people smoking or clutching fast food

Particularly grating as I'm working all the hours I can get to have enough for a deposit on a starter home somewhere like that but those wasters get it for free. f
k it. I'm off to have 19 kids and smoke tabs all day.drivetrain said:

When I worked in Blackpool a while back, the locals used to say that all the coaches and trains used to go back north empty at the end of the Glasgow Fair fortnight and the hospitals were swamped with neds and nedesses with neck pains from looking up at the wonderous Blackpool Tower.Blackpool? the epitome of councilness.
Glasgow must be a seriously s
t place.

I worked with one once. A former well known sportsman. A truly lovely bloke. If I rang him now to say I was in trouble, he would drop everything to help.Probably one of the nicest guys I know but........
The way he went on! A simple management meeting over something mundane would sound like a pub brawl.
He would welly a football through an office shouting and would get very defensive when people objected.
"Ach ya miserable
s, have a laugh will ye fer fk's sake" would be a fairly standard response.He had a few bob and luckily for potential neighbours in expensive houses he liked the country life so bought a house in the middle of no-where.
I miss him. I would however move if he came to live within a mile of me. :-)
